Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB-
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B+. The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
Clark has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
Good price on Sonny Styles in No. 30, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Value with a capital V on Christen Miller in slot 45, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94
Rnd3
Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson slipping to pick 94 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at Round 3, Pick 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Caden Curry
Caden Curry in pick No. 108 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163
Rnd5
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in the 163rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick180
Rnd6
DJ Harvey
No edge and no loss on DJ Harvey in the 180th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200
Rnd6
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in slot 200 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207
Rnd6
Barion Brown
They paid sticker price for Barion Brown in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jack Velling
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Velling. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
